1.0 Info:
Max number of players at the same time: 4
Saving: 3 slots to record Rank, levels/puzzles completed, and high scores; and
top 10 high scores for all players.
Language: English (Although it is a Japanese game, there is no Japanese expect
on the title screen)
Features: After entering in your name you can choose from the following modes:
Classic “Endless Tetris”, Stage Clear Tetris (with garage at higher levels),
Magic Tetris “Endless”, Stage Clear Magic Tetris, Stage Clear Spark Tetris, and
Puzzle Spark Tetris.
2.0 Modes:
2.1 Tetris “Endless”: You can choose a starting speed from 0 to 20, you score
more when you are at higher speeds. Every 10 lines you will increase in speed
by one unless you started at a higher speed than 1, then you will increase at
10 * level, after that increase all further increases will be at every 10
lines, e.g. if you start at level 10 you will stay at 10 until you reach 100
lines at which point you will be at level 11. The maximum speed you can get is
S9 (The S is actually a 3 so there at 39 speeds). If you manage this your score
will be at about maximum and you will barley be able to see the block before it
hits the ground (even if the field is empty). As you increase in Speed the
background will change. Regardless the game will not end until a block ends up
above the line (or partly above the line).
2.2 Stage Clear Tetris: Start by choosing a starting speed (0 to 9) and then
choose a stage (0 to 5). You will be only be able to choose stages if you have
beaten the previous stage at speed level 9 (stage 0 is always available), you
may choose any speed you want. Each round requires that you get 25 lines, after
beating a stage you will do the same stage again, expect with one higher speed,
after level 9 you will get a cute animation of a magic show, and increase in
stage by one and go back to speed 0. Each stage above 0 has garbage (stage 1
has 6 lines of garbage). You will have 3 lives total (if you go over you loose
a life and have to do the round over).
2.3 Magic Tetris “Endless”: Just like classic Tetris expect, pieces and groups
of pieces will fall if they are not connected to other pieces, you get to see
the next 4 pieces, rotating a piece will adjust its color meter, After rotating
once counter-clockwise the color will change (blue -> red, red -> green, green
-> red). Rotating the piece clockwise 4 times will change the color in reverse.
If you rotate counter-clockwise and then clockwise the piece will go back to
its original color. There are also two other less common colors (flashing and
gray, neither colors can be changed), gray pieces will only be three, two , or
one block big and they do not disappear when you clear a line. Clearing a line
with only one color (may include flashing color), will destroy all pieces of
that color and turn all gray blocks into that color. Blocks will then to clump
in color that is you will often see 4 to 5 of a single color in a row (Flashing
does not count and gray you will not see more that 3 at once).
2.4 Magic Tetris Stage Clear: Just like stage clear for classic Tetris expect
with the Magic Tetris rules.
2.5 Spark Tetris stage clear: Spark Tetris is unlike regular Tetris. About 3 in
4 block have a single bomb icon in one of the blocks, every 1 in 20 or so is
made completely of bombs. Forming a line will trigger all bombs in that line,
the bomb will destroy itself and two blocks directly above, below, to the right
and to the left. Any bombs caught in the explosion will also activate possibly
causing chain reactions. Completing more than one line at once will increase
the range of the bomb, by one per extra line. A line without bombs will not be
erased, but instead add to the number of lines at the next line completed. If 4
bombs form a square they will combine to form a super bomb and detonating it
will produce a much larger range. At the start of each stage there will already
be pieces (and possible bombs) on the field, you have 100 blocks to destroy
everything on the field. When there are only a few block left the next one or
two pieces will become all bombs. You can increase the number of blocks you
have left by creating super bombs (+1), or getting multiple lines at once 4
gives +2 while 8 gives +50! Any extra block at the end is your score. Every
stage also increases in speed and there are about 35 stages in all. The three
best high scores are kept for each stage. Only your best score will count
toward your overall score.
2.6 Spark Tetris Puzzle: Just like Spark Tetris expect you are given a set of
predefined pieces to destroy all blocks. Also there is a clay piece that stops
explosions and after it is touched by an explosion will turn into a regular
piece and there are spiked pieces that never go away and stop all explosions,
you don’t need to destroy these pieces to solve the puzzle. The speed is really
slow and you can press select at any time to give up. There are 100 puzzles in
all, and you can do them in any order you want. They are arranged from easy to
hard (although there are a few easy one latter on) and puzzles will range from
1 to 5 pieces with the exception of the last one which has 21. A chart will
show you which puzzles you have finished.
3.0 Two player:
3.1 Tetris: Every line you clear is sent to your opponent as a line with a
piece missing in a spot if any pieces get pushed above the line they will
simply disappear. The spot is the same spot for 10 lines then the gap will
change to a new position. Lines are not added until your piece hits the ground.
Each player may set his/her own difficulty level (garbage level up to 5 and
speed level up to 39). The first player to win 3 rounds wins the game.
3.2 Magic Tetris: Just like Tetris with every time you create a line with the
same color all the blocks that disappeared are sent to the opponent and your
speed increases. The blocks are more likely to help your opponent by filling in
gaps. So use when necessary.
3.3 Spark Tetris: Race to see who can finish the stage faster. There are 5
stages to choose from or you can choose random (a random choice will not change
between rounds). Destroying pieces will send them over to your opponent (clay
one can also be sent).
4.0 Multiplayer:
This can be played with 2 to 4 players. The only made in multiplayer is Tetris
expect you only have a width of 7 block instead 10 and when the blocks rise
they copy the bottom row. A indicator on the bottom will rotate between +xP
(where x is 1 to 4) +All, -All –yP (where y is you player number).When you
clear a line the effect shown at the bottom will take place adding or deleting
rows. (Yes you can add rows to your self) if you get multiple rows you will
multiply the result.
5.0 Sound mode: You can listen to all the sounds and music in the game as one
of the option when you start the game up. You also get a right and left volume
indicator.
6.0 Final Word:
I really did like this game and the amount of stuff available. The only major
down fall is no AI, but this game is great for single player and good for
multiplayer too.
